Does anyone know if there is, or will be, a supplier of aftermarket trigger components for the RM 380?

I actually like the long smooth trigger pull except for one thing; it doesn't break until it is almost touching the trigger guard.

That concerns me because, if wear on the trigger-related parts could cause the trigger to get any closer to the guard before the break, the gun would not fire.

To check, I placed a business card behind the trigger and tried to dry fire. The trigger did not break and the hammer did not fall.

I don't want to lighten the trigger and I consider the long pull a great safety feature but I would like to get it to break just a few thousands (.010" - .020") of an inch earlier so I can be sure it will work every time as the gun gets broken in.

This is a great little gun and I am willing to put some work into it to make it perfect.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know of any aftermarket trigger for the RM380 but there is something you can try, if you are brave.

Take the right side grip panel off and observe just how the trigger, trigger sear bar and hammer operate. As the dog on the hammer reaches the end point of the trigger sear bar it will be released and the hammer will fall forward onto the firing pin. If yu file and stone that point of the hammer sear bar it will allow the hammer to be released earlier thus shortening the length of the trigger pull. I would only remove about 1/64" to 1/32" at any one time. This way you can pickup some space between the trigger and trigger guard solving your concerns of the trigger hitting the trigger guard before releasing the hammer.

Just remove very little at any one time. Stop when you have enough clearance between the trigger and trigger guard. This will still allow the hammer to hit the firing pin with enough force to ignite the cartridge. My RM380 has at least 1/16" clearance between the trigger and trigger guard as it came from Remington.

I am not a gunsmith so use this advice with caution.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy the Tyre trigger from Galloway. I (and now another forum member) both could not get the trigger to work because it bumps up against the rear of the trigger guard before the hammer can break.

Yet Galloway refuses to acknowledge the flaw in their product, and insists that you ship the gun to them AT YOUR COST for their inspection (at a cost greater than the new trigger) or return the part to them AT YOUR COST for a refund.

Horrible, horrible customer service.

As the good reviews for this pistol roll out, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before another--better--company offers an upgrade that works.
